LIGHTS. CAMERA. HANDCUFFS?

Too many filmmakers are ending up in the news for all the wrong reasons. That's why we created an important PSA in partnership with the St. Petersburg Police Department. In it you'll find a simple solution for staying safe and staying off local law enforcement's radar.

TRAINING OUR LOCAL WORKFORCE

Our hands on Assistant Camera workshop hosted and taught by Two Stories Media on April 4th at 10:30 AM will show you the ins and outs of working in the camera department as a camera operator or first or second AC on film, TV and commercial productions. Topics covered include set etiquette, safety best practices, equipment set up, job hunting tips and more. Space is limited. 

WHO'S BACK THERE?

What's it like working as a background actor? Our helpful info sheet explains it all including what extras do, how to apply, on set Do's and Don'ts plus links to local talent and casting agencies.
